Excellent,  great history with pictures and artifacts.  They came for a freedom that didn't exist in their land,  but our President of the United States made good on his promise to practice your religion with out being persecuted. The pictures take you back in time.  What a sight to see. 🌹 Philadelphia is always a great place to visit. While in the area do visit the Reading Terminal Market.  More fiod then you can think of... Visit by train,  the Amtrak,  and Greyhound are within walking distance.  Bring your walking  shoes.

Great setup! I'd recommend following the suggested timeline. Interactive components with some exhibits designed to support children's engagement

Amazing museum! Please, please, please, take the time to add this to your schedule.  My husband and I spent 5 hours here, and left only because my blood sugar dropped.  Although the museum beautifully demonstrates the Jewish experience in America all Americans can see the story of their people in the exhibits.  Especially considering the social conversations of immigration currently coursing through our country, this museum allows you a glimpse into the marginalization that all immigrants feel entering a new country.  BRING TISSUES!!!

The best museums on Market Street! The museum has a good variety of topics surrounding the history of American Jewish culture, and is a very interesting visit. Excited for the Leonard Bernstein exhibition!
